520 1  "Almost thirty years since its original publication, 
       Drawing Down the Moon continues to be the only detailed 
       history of the burgeoning but still widely misunderstood 
       Neo-Pagan subculture. Margot Adler attended ritual 
       gatherings and interviewed a diverse, colorful gallery of 
       people across the United States, people who find 
       inspiration in ancient deities, nature, myth, even science
       fiction. Contrary to stereotype, what Adler discovered was
       neither cults nor odd sects, but religious groups that are
       nonauthoritarian in spirit and share  the belief that 
       there is no one single path to divinity." "This fully 
       revised edition of Drawing Down the Moon has been expanded
       to include an updated resource guide of newsletters, 
       journals, books, groups, and festivals."--BOOK JACKET.
